Headstrong: Ashley Tisdale's Style

Hey guys-

Ever saw a cute outfit on a celebrity and went, "MAN! I wish I had her style!" ... and then went to the mall and couldn't find ANYTHING you were looking for? WELL.. after constantly seeing AHSLEY TISDALE everywhere I look these days, I decided to break down her STYLE and hopefully give you hints and ideas as to where to look! After going to the mall today, I found a lot of cute things that would TOTALLY be AshTisStyle! ... (Maybe you've never seen her wear these things.. but they totally could be things she would wear)- so keep reading on if you think Ashley's style is to die for! (AND, everything is at an extremely reasonable price!) You can CLICK on all the pictures below to buy the products online!

As you can see, her sweatshirt is from HOLLISTER. HCO is a very California-Girl/Beach Bum/Laid back style- their sweatshirts are really comfortable, affordable, and adorrable!

Sweatshirts are $39.99 each from HOLLISTER.
I have the "California" sweatshirt in grey- it's super comfy and cute!



FOREVER 21 is a really nice, affordable store that has a lot of your basics for an awesome price! ... For example:

Now this look is ALL about layers... once again, FOREVER 21 has a bunch of basic/plain essentials you can use to pile up and create a unique look!

Adorrable handbag ... *this one's pricey!!* $600.00 from LOUIS VUITTON.

Overall, if it's not funky... or styled for Maddie (TSL) or SHARPAY (HSM), Ashley's style is very All-American Girl, casual chic! Most of the stuff you would see on her, walking down the street, you could find at your local mall.

Ashley's JEANS look exactly like the style of Madison Destroyed Abercombie Jeans, or casual Cali Low Rise Jeans from Hollister.





The hats you would find on Ashley are that of cute baseball styled caps, like these from American Eagle





A lot of the spunky tops you might find on Ashley look like these from Forever 21:



Her sweatshirts come from, yet again, Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch.





As for HAIR and MAKE UP... DO NOT FRET if your hair isn't long like Ashley's! ... and PLEASE don't bleach it to blonde! Ashley has said on MANY occassions that her hair is naturally DARK BROWN... but she had to dye her hair for The Suite Life... and she dyed it so many times that her hair died, broke, and FELL OFF starting at the shoulders!! ... so now, it takes about 5 hours to do her hair and her hair is SUPER LONG because of HAIR EXTENSIONS... so please don't dye your hair unless you must!



Usually, her hair isn't straight... but when it is, you can straighten your own hair with a flat iron! Just make sure to use a protectant, like that from Garnier... and don't do it when it is wet or damp!



Or, if you want the curly look (which it is naturally), you can use a curling iron, curling 1 inch sections at a time, then pinning it up and spraying it with a styling spray (until you have finished your entire head)... OR simply just go to your local stylist and ask for a "long wave" perm!



As for make up... as you can see, Ashley likes to keep it very dramatically natural- it's the casual California beach babe look. I'm not quite sure as to what products Ashley uses, but I can tell you my top picks (which work VERY well!)

First, for that Ashley-airbrushed look, start off with a clean face.

I absolutely LOVE St. Ives's facial cleansers! Their apricot micro-beads scrub away your old skin/dirt/blemishes without hurting your face... and they have a cleanser for EVERY skin type... so click on the picture to see which one's right for you! After that, use a cotton ball to lightly dab toner all over your face to even out your skin tone/whipe away all impurities! I use Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner. Then, PROTECT and MOISTURIZE your face with NEUTROGENA's OIL FREE MOISTURIZER: SPF 15



Next, cover up any blemishes you might have, and make a clean pallette on your face with a natural foundation. CoverGirls's TruBlend (whipped) foundations, though EXTREMELY light weight and NON GREASY, have great coverage!!





Then, to get that California-sun-kissed look, highlight your cheeks with a natural bronzed glow. The best is CARGO'S BeachBlush. I use the shade in CORAL BEACH, but that's because I'm a bit tanned- but don't fret- there are differen't color sets to choose from!





For a casual every-day style, DON'T pile on the eyeshadow! Like Ashley, I like to lightly line the top of my eyes to make them POP! Starting from where your eyelashes start... work from the inside, all the way to the outside of your eye with a skinny eyeshadow brush and a black smoky eyeshadow. You can use EYELINER, but since it is the summer, mine tends to melt! Therefore, I like to use MAC Eyeshadow with a base PRIMER underneath the eyeshadow (directly onto my lid) to make the shadow STICK. After you're done with the top lid, you can also outline the bottom of your eyes, but only do it on your lower eyelash line!



Finish off your eyes with MASCARA... but first, curl each set of eyelashes with a SHU UEMERA eyelash curler. Then, put two coats of DIOR SHOW Mascara on each eye. I like to use the waterproof one so that I know it won't smudge right off when it gets hot!





NOW... finish off your look with a light lip shade (perhaps a nude of shimmery pink), so as not to take attention away from your eyes. Most of the time, I just like to leave the house wearing chap stick (that'll moisturize your lips and protect them from the sun!) But for colour, I really like CARGO LIP DUOs (in SoHo, Bora Bora, or Machu Pichu). For regular gloss/chap stick, I always use BURT'S BEES or MURAD Pomegranate Lip Therapy: SPF 15.



That's about it- I hope that helps ... Happy shopping!
Peace out!
